CORE VALUES​WHAT WE BELIEVEIt is the belief of the faculty and staff of Dr. Joseph Samuel Clark Elementary School that all students can learn. Therefore, we direct our educational mission with the belief as our conscience.We believe our primary responsibility is to meet the educational needs of all children. Realizing that each child is an individual, possessing unique interest and abilities, we strive to ensure the mastery of the basic skills of reading, mathematics, and written communication. We endeavor to tech those skills leading to higher levels of academic performance in additional subject offerings.We also believe in fostering the positive social/emotional development of all children by setting levels of high expectation for learning and providing a safe and orderly school environment.We accept this two-fold mission, regardless of the previous academic performance, family background, socio-economic status, race or gender of our students. We fulfill this responsibility through an effective organizational structure, a strong administration, a clear instructional focus, and continual measurement of student achievement.Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. – Dr. Seuss
